Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, cheese, chopped parsley, room-temperature egg, spices, salt, and black pepper.

Mix the ingredients gently until the meatball mixture is well combined.

Form the meat mixture into meatballs, aiming for about 1 - 1½ inches in diameter.

Roll each meatball in a light coating of all-purpose flour.

Heat a large skillet on a stovetop over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil. 

Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in a single layer, giving them space to sear properly.

Brown the meatballs on all sides, creating a nice crust.

Transfer the seared homemade meatballs to a skillet, arranging them with some space between them.

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are cooked through.

While the meatballs are baking, warm up your favorite sauce in a separate pot.

Once the tender meatballs are fully cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.

Serve the delicious meatballs with the warmed marinara sauce, along with pasta, rice, spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles, or any desired side dish.
